Visual Studio Tools for Office 2007
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc (Verlag)
978-0-321-53321-0 (ISBN)
This book delivers in one place all the information you need to succeed using VSTO to program against Word 2007, Excel 2007, and Outlook 2007, and provides the necessary background to customize Visio 2007, Publisher 2007, and PowerPoint 2007. It introduces the Office 2007 object models, covers the most commonly used objects in those object models, and will help you avoid the pitfalls caused by the COM origins of the Office object models. Developers who wish to program against Office 2003 should consult Carter and Lippert’s previous book, Visual Studio Tools for Office.
In VSTO 2008, you can build add-ins for all the major Office 2007 applications, build application-level custom task panes, customize the new Office Ribbon, modify Outlook’s user interface using Form Regions, and easily deploy everything you build using ClickOnce.
Carter and Lippert cover their subject matter with deft insight into the needs of .NET developers learning VSTO, based on the deep knowledge that comes from the authors’ unique perspective of living and breathing VSTO for the past six years. This book
Explains the architecture of Microsoft Office programming and introduces the object models
Covers the main ways Office applications are customized and extended
Explores the ways of customizing Excel, Word, and Outlook, and plumbs the depths of programming with their events and
object models
Introduces the VSTO programming model
Teaches how to use Windows Forms and WPF in VSTO and how to work with the Document Actions Pane and application-level task panes
Delves into VSTO data programming and server data scenarios
Teaches ClickOnce VSTO deployment
This is the one book you need to succeed in programming against Office 2007.

Eric Carter is a development manager on the Visual Studio team at Microsoft. He helped invent, design, and implement many of the features that are in VSTO today. Previously at Microsoft he worked on Visual Studio for Applications, the Visual Studio Macros IDE, and Visual Basic for Applications for Office 2000 and Office 2003. Eric Lippert’s primary focus during his twelve years at Microsoft has been on improving the lives of developers by designing and implementing useful programming languages and development tools. He has worked on the Windows Scripting family of technologies, Visual Studio Tools for Office, and, most recently, on the C# compiler team.
